Renew your commercial vehicle licence

Important information

Commercial vehicle licences (CVL) for taxis, rideshare vehicles, minibuses, motor omnibuses, tourist vehicles, private hire cars and other commercial passenger vehicles can be renewed online.
The vehicle must be registered in the NT.
You’ll need to provide your CVL number and your ABN.
If you aren't the owner of the vehicle, you'll need to attach written approval from the owner to your application. Details about what this needs to include are listed below.
Your residential and postal address details provided in your application must match Motor Vehicle Registry (MVR) records. You can check and update your contact details with MVR.
If contact details differ, your MVR record will be updated using the information submitted in your application.

This takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

If your application is approved, you must pay a licence fee and additional motor accident compensation insurance as part of the vehicle registration.

You’ll receive an email with a link to pay online using a Mastercard or Visa credit or debit card.

You'll need to attach written approval from the owner to your application. This must include:

the owner's details (name, address, date of birth)
the vehicle's identification number (VIN)
the vehicle's registration number
a statement from the owner giving you permission to use the vehicle for commercial or rideshare purposes.

To find other ways to apply, go to the NT Government website.
